Weatherford, Texas, United States
I am completing my Bachelor of Arts in Biology at Texas Christian University, with a minor in Business, graduating in May 2026, and pursuing a career in dentistry. I am passionate about patient-centered care, improving access for Spanish-speaking communities, and working with children. Through my clinical, dental, and volunteer experiences, I have developed strong manual dexterity, attention to detail, and the ability to connect with patients. As a fluent Spanish speaker, I have helped bridge communication gaps in healthcare settings, including translating between patients and providers at Mercy Clinic to improve patient understanding and comfort. I am currently applying to dental schools and continuing to build hands-on experience in patient care.
